Kamigami no Asobi
While there are no specific details about it, Japanese production company Showgate has updated on what’s going on with spring 2014 anime series Kamigami no Asobi in terms of its episode count. With it being firmed up as a twelve episode series, which Sentai Filmworks has acquired, they’ve also listed that an OVA will be coming as well. It’s expected that this will be a standalone release as the currently solicited TV series Blu-ray and DVD releases don’t account for it yet, but it could also be tied to some other product as well since the show has its origins in games and could be a new bundle down the line.
The series is directed by Tomoyuki Kawamura (My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU, Good Luck Girl!) with series composition by Tomoko Kanparu (Kimi ni Todoke – From Me to You, NANA), character design by Minako Shiba (Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee, Black Butler) and animation production by Brains Base (One Week Friends, Penguindrum).
Plot concept: The question of who weaves our destiny has always been shrouded in mystery. However, in a twist of fate, Yui Kusanagi discovers a mighty and mysterious sword that transports her to another world. There, this ordinary high school girl finds herself face-to-face with the mighty Greek god Zeus. As her fortune would have it, The God of Thunder has an unusual request: remain in the dimension he has created and attend a school of legendary proportions. When he’s not busy ruling the universe, Zeus acts as headmaster and dean for a school of young, somewhat misguided gods. The bond between humans and gods has weakened, and it is now up to Yui to teach the gods about love and what it means to be human. Will the dice of fortune fall in her favor? Or will the pressure of being a modern-day Venus be too much to handle? Only time will tell what happens as her fate unfolds before her. Whatever the outcome, bring on the bishounen as Yui tries to reveal who her true destiny is tied to in KAMIGAMI NO ASOBI!
